On its website, National Action said the video would be the first episode of an "investigative journalism" series aimed at " confronting men who are seeking sex with underage white girls".

The statement went on: "It may shock many to know but what these men are doing is considered entirely legal by British authorities who view justice activism with contempt.

"The activist in this film is a seasoned paedophile hunter who has in the past submitted dozens of reports to the police and yet has never seen a single prosecution, even in cases where the potential offenders have handed themselves in to the police."

National Action stated on their website they have no intention of assisting police.

It wrote: "We will not be co-operating with the authorities in any way as it does not concern them until such a time as they take these crimes seriously. Expect to see more episodes in the future.”

ACCUSED: The National Action member chases the man through the park

Using the hastag #occupypaedophillia, the series is thought to be a tribute to a Russian vigilante group who snare gay men before torturing and humiliating them.

But following the release of film, it was reported that one of National Action's members is in fact a convicted sex offender, according to the Huffington Post.

Twitter reacted with fury, with one critic branding their campaign "laughable".

Blasting the far-right group, Matthew Collins, director of Hate not Hope, said: "They’re like a ridiculous art project that just doesn’t know when to die... they’re letting down the entire far-right movement.”
